Opinion
Argued October 9, 1963
Decided October 29, 1963
Action to recover damages for injury to person and property, alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the defendants, brought to the Superior Court in Hartford County by transfer from the Superior Court in New Haven County and tried to the jury before Thim, J.; verdict and judgment for the plaintiff and appeal by the defendants. No error.
Roger F. Gleason, for the appellants (defendants).
Francis R. Danaher, for the appellee (plaintiff).
Upon conflicting evidence as to liability the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The plaintiff and the named defendant were the operators of automobiles proceeding in opposite directions on the same street. A collision occurred at an intersection. The jury apparently believed the plaintiff's claim that the defendant operator negligently made a left turn into the path of the plaintiff's car. That was the jury's privilege. Prizio v. Penachio, 146 Conn. 452, 456, 152 A.2d 507.
As the trial court has indicated, the verdict was liberal but not excessive. We cannot disturb it. Miner v. McKay, 145 Conn. 622, 624, 145 A.2d 758.
